Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4501]
I have discovered that my old Polish surname has been spelled two ways (so far) and was wondering if the difference was critical or just mis-spelling. The name is: Dzibiszewski & Dzibiszewsky. Thanks for your help. I'm finding that developing a family tree is not as easy as it looks. :)

Genealogy / Dzibiszewski: Just starting family tree and need help with Polish ancestor [3]
Oh wow! Thank you for the heads up. I am quickly discovering that spelling of sur-names can be a little challenging back in those times. Phonetics can play a huge part in how names are spelled and traced, not to mention that sometimes information was made up to cover previous histories. I will check that out - thank you for your help.
Still looking for ancestors to Edward Dzibiszewski / Dzibiszewsky
According to the Ellis Island records the father of John Dzibiszewski(y) born 6/24/1884 in Wroclaw Poland was Edward Dzibiszewski(y) also from Wroclaw, Poland. I'm having trouble locating the spouse and wondering if possibly the name might have been spelled differently. Not being familiar with the Polish language any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
I am trying to get some family information on my great grandfather who according to US Census Reports came to the United States some time between 1890 and 1920.

Birthplace: Wroclaw, Poland
Father: Edward Dzibiszewski
Mother: Unknown
I believe John was married prior to coming the the US and I'm trying to find out more detail on his family and herritage.
Thanks,
